I think I need more real-world examples of mysql_pconnect() than my PHP
reference provides.

In the context of a web-environment, where a user can issue a query and then
walk away for hours or days, how does mysql_pconnect() work?

After a connection is first established in this manner, does it ever close
on its own if it is not explicitly told to? With multiple users accessing
the database, what prevents an ever increasing number of persistent
connections?
